It seems like it works well, though you might want to set the gun to not get hit.

But if the gun never gets hit that would be imbalanced, and we can't have that can we?

I dunno, its a minor inconvience, but you can quickly get any other weapon lying on the ground. Is there a way to give weapons shielding(tk force field) once you tk wield them? That way any weapon you pick up with this tool can take some extra damage but still be destroyed eventually.

This game is really turning into X-men or something.

I found a problem: If you tk wield the homing rocket launcher, it will lock on to you.

Because it can't find whoever fired it, so it'll just hunt down the closest unit. It not a bug with this mod, its a bug with the RL.

Make one that "has your back"
make it go behind your actor's back and shoot the opposite direction of where you are shooting.

Or just make it an actor and have it shoot enemies automatically.

You're holding a floating weapon of any size above your head, and you're worried about balance?.

Hmm. Kyred, you should add a mass check to the gun and then make the velocity as it moves a factor of mass.

And if it's too heavy it should crush the actor.

If the bullets it shoots are too heavy the recoil should knock it out of your telekinetic grasp.

I vote for a slowly increasing offset (increasing as in increasing with every shot) both, back as well as slowly rotating away from your target (increased recoil that actually can start shooting the sky).
And if the whole thing moves too far away let it drop and maybe continue to shoot for a second or two (and thus accidently harm you if you aren't careful :3)

That's awesome!
Simple solution though, use the normal rocket launcher :P

I updated the mod. It includes the new movable mode and a glow effect (vanilla blue glow). I also made a few bug fixes.

Still needs a bit more work though.

I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but I'm going for this one, as it's just an issue if you use it.

When you use this on the Particle Accelerator, it doesn't charge, and just immediately releases.
Just informing you, as it might be pretty awesome to use two PAC's together.

Yeah, the PAC will do that if it doesn't find a body within about 30 pixels of the center of the gun itself. The Tele Wielder holds the PAC about 50 pixels over the owner's head, so it won't be able to find it.

Same thing happens if you try to use the homing launcher, as the rocket might lock on to you.

EDIT:
On a side note, I just finished documenting my code for this. I have comments and explainations for almost every like of code.

The best combo would obviously be holding a heavy digger and TK wielding a PAC within 30 pixels to create a constant "feed" to the PAC.

Mow the map and blow it in someone's face. :twisted:

I did something similar with mail's slave clone.
Had my main actor hold the PAC while the slave clone was nearby digging material I could feed the PAC with.

Here's an idea.
Hold the PAC, and then TK wield a concrete sprayer.
Raep much?
